Safer Air Travel

01-04-2010, 03:54 PM

I think it's time to pass stricter rules for air travel. How about everyone who wants to fly must be individually quarantined twenty four hours in advance. No food just water and then a full body cavity search before bording! Absolutely no carry ons and no luggage either! Rules only apply to passengers departing from the USA, all other passenegers around the world can do whatever they want.

But, I'm not much for the naked thing, too many fat uglies. However, I think the whole airfare system needs to be overhauled along with security. Ticket prices by weight, not seat. Everybody gets naked, full body scanned and then a shower and a Tyvek suit for the flight. No luggage or carry-ons allowed, including jewlery, watches, radios, cell phones, handbags, and computers of any kind. All Tyvek suits are equipped with Depends, so no more need for those bomb mixing centers known as bathrooms.

Prescriptions required by individuals need to be addressed well in advance of the flight and must be placed in the hands of the air crew medic before you board.

All personal items like luggage, jewlery, cell phones, etc. would be shipped separately to your destination, twelve hours before your flight. Damaged or mis-shipped luggage is the responsibility of the airline with penalties paid to the passenger.

While that may raise a lot of fuss, the option would be to have a cargo plane designed (obviously slower and not at all timely or direct to destination) with individual seats, each contained within a blast-proof capsule. Any detonation outside the capsule would jettison the capsule with a deployment chute. Any detonation inside the capsule would jettison the capsule with a deployable tombstone marker.

The Tyvek suit flights would be more secure and lighten the load which would save fuel and the cargoed capsule flights would be a boon to the aircraft industry as well as those involved in realestate excavation.

Now this is just getting silly! Next thing someone will say is something like "What if they smuggle the explosives in a woman's breast implants", well come to think of it that is possible! The terrorists have us thinking and although we are joking right now, thank God we have yet another chance to improve security.

I was actually just thinking of something similar. I now have an artificial right knee and shoulder. How hard could it be to plant something in them before surgery?

Probably not that hard to do, however the volume capacity of a breast implant and the relative ease of the procedure would make it much more practical. Scary to think how many different scenarios could take place in which determined nut jobs could cause damage.
